This ingredient is most popular in hair care (including hair dyes) where it provides conditioning properties as well as anti-frizz, anti-static, and detangling benefits. It may be plant- or animal-derived or synthetic. Cetrimonium chloride can also be used as part of cosmetic preservative blends and may be used to inhibit unwanted odors from forming within a formula. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid in raw material form. The 2012 Cosmetic Ingredient Review report deemed cetrimonium chloride safe in amounts up to 10% when used in rinse-off formulas. Studies indicate lower amounts (no greater than 1%) are recommended for leave-on products to avoid irritancy, with some research suggesting 0.25% should be the maximum to avoid sensitization.
